Best Spot in the Lot
Who has the best parking spot at the train station? That would be me! Last Thursday commemorates my 1st bike commute of 2013. No battles with drivers. No line up for parking. Closest spot to the station. Its once a year cleaning was promised prior to its big day; so new dust can settle on […]
From PJ’s to Spandex
March 24, 2013
Sluggish morning? Count me in! I was still in my pajamas by noon, knowing very well I was due for another short ride today. Temperature hovered at 3C, still not my ideal long-distance temperature yet. Finally at 1pm, I got my acts together. Somehow, somewhere, my legs erupted energy. I was in the zone and […]
2013 Achilles 5K
March 17, 2013
I winged another race, just a mini one. To date, I’ve never been able to train for any running events. I haven’t laced up my runners since I mentioned the Achilles St. Patrick’s Day 5K last month to recover some shin issues, except for a quickie 3km test run 2 weeks ago to assess my […]
Just Cut Them!

March 10, 2013
Above freezing with sunshine? Say what? Spring is here! Time to reunite with my buddy after 4 months of hibernation. I kicked out the door Saturday noon (literally, door was stuck!) with my bike to kickoff the season! SATURDAY I wanted an easy short route to regain the feel of my bike & assess its […]
A Rookie Mistake
March 2, 2013
I committed a rookie mistake yesterday. I’ve had my fair share of bonking in the past but never to this level. As one of my 2013 goals, I completed back-to-back spin classes last night. I don’t usually bring electrolytes or energy bars for spinning, strictly reserving them for cycling. Let’s face it, they are convenient […]
Running a Detour
February 24, 2013
I seem to change my training “plans” every week, mostly detouring around running. Last week, I spoke of “speed work” in hopes of beating a certain someone in an upcoming 5K. This hope is now uncertain. My shin pains still exist, in fact there are intermittent local pains even when sitting. Have I also mentioned […]
